PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Respected Teachers, Colleagues, Friends and Well Wishers, Dear Friend, When all is going reasonably well in life, we generally shut ourselves down by saying All is well in my life. I don t need to attend any programs. I have already attended many programs, which has an underlying implication that I know everything. However, the truth is that in order to be and stay successful, we need to constantly learn and equip ourselves with the latest and the best tools and technologies. What worked 10 years back, does not work anymore. We need new ways to deal with today s challenges. Today s challenges are Global Competition, Changing family systems (Nuclear and Atomic families), Inflation, Higher expectations from everywhere (work, family), Work life balance, etc. This is putting tremendous Stress and Strain on the Human Being. The bad news is that none of this is going away. In fact, with time, these challenges will only increase. But the Good News is that there is a Solution to be Future Ready and also be Successful and Happy today! We, at IAP, believe that the only way one can be ready for the future is to learn how to tap into their inner resources (the Human Being s Unlimited Potential and Mind Power). We show you how to scientifically unleash this potential within you and how to use this potential to Achieve Massive Success and Happiness in Your Life! If you are already successful, chances are that you will re-discover your New Potential and realize that you actually do far more than what you are doing right now and make a difference to more lives in your lifetime. Are you truly living your highest potential? Have you made up your mind on what you are going to do for the rest of your life? i.e. Do you have a Purpose for your life? If this is not the case, you are probably living a life far below your true potential. 2

LATEST UPDATES ON HPV VACCINE - 19 TH APRIL 2015 6
THE FIRST NATIONAL MEET ON OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA The first National Meet on Osteogenesis Imperfecta was held on 5th April, at the Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital, Powai, Mumbai. This meeting was held under the aegis of IAP Mumbai Branch and attended by over 120 delegates. The theme of the meeting was to cover all aspects of OI with emphasis on creating awareness and also listening to true stories of OI children and their caregivers. After a brief introduction of the Hospital by Dr Sujit Chatterjee, CEO, Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital, Dr Atul Bhaskar, Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon, introduced the subject of OI to the attending delegates. This was followed by a comprehensive talk by Dr Parag Tamhankar on the Clinical aspects and Genetic Testing available for OI in Mumbai. At present specific testing of OI genes is not done in India, especially the recessive variants and the DNA samples have to be sent overseas. Dr Deepak Jagiasia, consultant radiologist spoke on the role of Bone Mineral Density in OI children and that one need to see the Z score and plan treatment accordingly. Dr Abhishek Kulkarni, Paediatric Endocrinologist, spoke on the medical management of OI and the role of cyclic bisphosphonates in preventing fractures in children with OI. After a brief tea-break, the highlight of the OI session was our invited speaker, Dr Xiuhui Ren, from PRC (China). Dr Ren has treated over 1000 children with OI and leads an OI center in North West China. He spoke on his surgical experience in children with OI and about the role of early rodding and ambulation in children with repeated fractures. Following his talk, Mr Chandrashekar, parent of an OI child and Dr Atul Bhaskar spoke about the ibones foundation, and launch of Osteogeneis Imperfecta Foundation of India. This initiative will need to grow with time so that more and more children can benefit with early treatment. Dr Atul Bhaskar spoke about his experience with surgical treatment of OI children in India and how repeated fractures can cause delay in motor milestones. The role of surgical stabilization and early ambulation was emphasized. Dr Pradnya Sawant, Paediatric anesthesiologist gave an insightful talk on role of various anesthetic drugs and care required to make surgical intervention safer for these kids. 9
THE FIRST NATIONAL MEET ON OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA Dr Bhanupriya spoke about the importance of pre and post-operative rehabilitation in children with OI and also about prevention of fractures and safety features in the community. The academic talks were followed by an interactive session with doctors, parents and caregivers. Several parents of OI children spoke about their experience and how they have handled the children over time. 10
UNRAVELLING THE SCIENCE OF VARICELLA VACCINATION 12th April 2015 Varicella has always been an intriguing illness. Over 15 years since the vaccine been available, we have seen a positional shift in the program. We have also experienced the breakthrough cases of chickenpox inspite of vaccination. Our guest of honour Dr. M. R. Lokeshwar enlightened the audience on the illness and changing pattern of the disease. The need to keep up with times was also highlighted in the message. The epidemiology was well explained by our senior teacher, Dr. P. G. Samdani. Our star speaker brought out the intricacies of the vaccine that was an interesting learning for the delegates. The importance of CFU ranging from 950 to 17500/ ml, the passage of attenuation from 25 to 37 times, the 2 dose schedule 2 months apart, the need for booster, combining with MMR and need for booster was explained in detail. The symposia was webcast to 37 locations across the country and more that 600 delegates benefitted from the orations. There was intense interaction from the delegates in the audience and distant centres. 11
